	Personally I think I'm better at dark fiction than any other type.
Although after some practice I have almost gotten comedy down.  Which I
beleive is much harder to write than Dark fics, which I can write
easily.  Oh No! I'm Ryouga! Heh heh.  I'm just a dark kind of guy. EVIL
is FUN.

	Ditto. Heh, heh. . .and your right about comedy, too, btw; it is a
stone *bitch* to write. Drama is, for me, somehow easier; I envy those for
whom the comedy flows easily.


I have a different version of the same problem.  All my longer fiction
tends to be very serious because for me to be able to write something that
long, I have to become very emotionally committed to it.  That makes
introducing humour difficult, for me at least.

My funny pieces (at least I hope they're funny) are all very short, or are
broken down into very short episodes.

but I'm working on a few new ideas that I hope will be a good deal lighter
than (for example) "Autumn and Spring".  I have a theory that it'll be a
lot easier to be more humorous writing in script form than in prose.  Has
enyone else found this?
